Getting a good start on this Ledebouria socialis painting. It's a very beautiful and interesting little plant - a south African member of the hyacinth family - that makes a good houseplant. I just picked this one up over the weekend but I would love to hear about anyone else's experiences with growing it! #silversquill#ledebouria

Ledebouria socialis, though I still think of them as Scilla: a south African species of the subfamily Scilloideae, recently added to the Asparagaceae family. These perennials of the arid savanna in the Eastern Cape area make charming house plants. In their native range, they grow in fine to medium grained sandy soil rich in humus, usually in the shade of savanna woodland. #Asparagaceae #silversquill #woodhyacinth #Ledebouria #Scilla #houseplants #botanize #botany #plants #nature (at Flagstaff, Arizona)

Got myself a new little plant today. Time to watch her grow and live a happy plant life.

Happy Easter! Just wanted share a new addition: the Silver Squill. 📷 2) Fascinated by these bulbs. 📷 3) I wonder which insect is responsible for pollinating these tiny flowers? ~ ~ #silversquill #silversquillblooms #houseplants #plantlove #foliage #indoorplants #plantlife #urbanjunglebloggers #houseplantclub #plantstyling #houseplantjournal #plants
